# DemoPage ROI calculator: What does showing the same screens cost you?

> A typical first-call SaaS demo takes 60 minutes of combined AE and SE time, including prep and follow-up notes, at a loaded cost of about $220 an hour. Offloading 100 repetitive first demos a month returns 100 team hours ($22,000 of capacity) on the $799 Growth plan, before counting leads your team never reaches.

## Where the 60 minutes per first demo go

- **Scheduling and qualification ping-pong (15 min).** Without DemoPage: SDR and AE emails back and forth to find a time; 20% to 30% of booked calls later no-show. With DemoPage: Visitor clicks your demo button, enters their work email, and sees the product in seconds.
- **Sandbox and account prep (15 min).** Without DemoPage: SE resets the demo environment and checks which screens match the prospect's industry and stack. With DemoPage: Warm standby browser opens your approved pages and plans the route around what the buyer asked to see.
- **First-call harbor tour (30 min).** Without DemoPage: AE and SE walk the same overview screens all week, often for leads who turn out not to fit. With DemoPage: DemoPage walks the real screens in 17 languages and answers questions with citations; AEs meet buyers who already saw the product.
- **Follow-up notes and recap link (Growth and Scale).** Without DemoPage: Rep writes recap notes, uploads a call recording, and updates CRM fields by hand. With DemoPage: Buyer gets a signed 30-day recap link to forward; your team gets a qualification card in the buyer's own words.

## Questions

**How is the ROI of DemoPage calculated?**
The time-savings calculator multiplies your monthly requests by the share of repetitive first demos DemoPage handles and the minutes your AE and SE team spends per demo (prep and follow-up included), valued at your loaded hourly cost. It then compares that monthly time savings against the exact DemoPage pack needed for the visitors who join a live session.

**What is the cost of a live demo on DemoPage versus a live sales call?**
A 60-minute first-call demo with an AE and SE costs about $220 in loaded team time. On DemoPage, a counted live demo costs $9.90 on Starter ($99 a month for 10), $7.99 on Growth ($799 a month for 100), and $6.66 on Scale ($1,999 a month for 300), down to $6.40 at 500 live demos a month.

**Do we pay when a visitor only watches the recorded demo or asks questions in chat?**
No. Watching the recorded walkthrough and asking questions in chat are unlimited and free on every plan. A live demo only counts when a visitor joins a live browser session and stays for three minutes or finishes it sooner, or when a pre-call demo is recorded for a new lead and shows at least two pages.

**What if the same buyer runs multiple live demos in one day, or our own team tests the link?**
The same visitor on the same product counts at most once per UTC day no matter how many live demos they start. Live demos started with an email address on your own website's domain are treated as team tests and never count toward your pack.

**How does DemoPage add pipeline in addition to saving SE hours?**
Many interested visitors refuse to book a calendar call just to see the UI, arrive outside business hours, speak another language, or sit below the seat threshold for a live SE. DemoPage gives those visitors a live walkthrough right away in 17 languages, captures their qualification details in their own words, and alerts your team when a buyer engages.
